Adventurous viewers will undoubtedly find a handful of moments all their own. But I Think You Should Leave also addresses humanity in its most stripped-back and essential form. There is no time for bad sketches in 15 minutes. Every bit on I Think You Should Leave feels essential â all killer and no filler, with minimal topicality and maximum absurdity. If it has, Davis would have to watch to the very end of episode six to see himself get referenced. Some of the jokes and sketches land with genius precision, while others completely fall flat and only amount to a chuckle or a smile from the occasional line.
But even with a scant push from Netflix to make I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson the , the sketch series has found its audience, with some help from organic endorsements on Twitter -- but mostly because it's funny as fuck. I mean, less than a year ago, Brits were calling to against a shy little baker who took too much time baking his delicate bakery treat. Rather, it's that Robinson and Cecily Strong give us a three-minute relationship drama that's both hysterical and crushing at the same time. Sometimes it's a failure on the part of the writers, who either write themselves into a corner or have no idea how to end a sketch. No coffin please, just wet, wet mud. Whereas some leading voices such as Michelle Wolf, Hasan Minhaj, and John Oliver have gone full-on into political reporting, I Think You Should Leave shows that sketch comedy need not directly unpack the news of the day to still supplement the cultural discourse.
Sketches usually focus on a single character's strange, antisocial behavior and how it affects those around that person. Saying more would taint expectations. Plus, if enough of you watch it, they'll make more, and I need like fifteen more seasons of this thing, stat. Her delivery of her shockingly mean lines is so perfect, she instantly creates an unforgettable scene. Having watched the entire thing all the way through several times now, I'm happy to report that I Think You Should Leave fits the bill nicely. What's your style of humor? Plus, that Bart Harvey Jarvis is the most aggressive baby I've ever seen in my life.
It boasts Saturday Night Live greats like Vanessa Bayer, Cecily Strong, Will Forte and Andy Samberg, along with great comedy actors like Tim Heidecker and Sam Richardson. My text chains are now dominated by favorite quotes from the series. Indeed, I Think You Should Leave is so deeply weird, one cannot help but wonder what Netflix's programming executives thought upon viewing it for the first time. Robinson does not back down in any situation. While wading through the originals library, there are moments when the cornucopia of content Ted Sarandos initially envisioned becomes clear.
The art form has been relegated to something of a farm league for artists anticipating their breakout. I Think You Should Leave is such a purely fun experience that analyzing it too deeply feels like missing the point. What's most compelling about what's happening right now is the breadth of voice and perspective that's finally being offered in these new sketch shows. Vanessa Bayer is a comedy master. So aside from a few standout jokes, I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson can be repetitive, which can feel like bullying viewers into submission rather than truly earning laughs. Sketches are so quick and short, though, where it never becomes a major issue. Arturo Castro graduated from Broad City to his new sketch comedy showânot the other way around.
Kanin was a crucial behind-the-scenes player on that series as well. So a Garfield-obsessed Kate Berlant strong-arming her friends into hosting it at her Garfield house, presumably owned by Jim Davis himself, and making her letter about the Garfield house while Robinson sits in a reclining Odie chair is too much to handle with a straight face. It follows, then, that the Thrillist Entertainment crew couldn't stop cracking I Think You Should Leave bits to each other, so we mined our favorite sketches from the series for the selfish purpose of content creation, which, given the number of relatably cynical office drone moments from the show, we think is appropriate. I have ruined plenty of shirts by pulling them of my body. Shortstack, a miracle of modern horse-breeding too modestly endowed to make it in this world. This is the less memorable one, though that says more about how amazing the other one is.

It was then that I gained an appreciation for absurdity, which led me to Kids In The Hall, The State, Mr. And then he starts choking. Robinson stars in the majority of sketches with Kanin making some small appearances here and there and consistently nails his characters and delivery. Somehow, this synonym for excrement sounds both charming and disgusting. There's also a pleasingly ominous tone to much of the work being done here, the constant sense that someone in the sketch generally Robinson will explode with anger at any moment.
This Spring, I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson rampaged onto Netflix like a bull in a China shop. And because there's nothing worse than having a joke explained to you, we tried letting the weirdos and absurd scenarios speak for themselves. Also, where the hell did they find the Garfield house anyway?? The first season can be consumed in an hour and 40 minutes, making it a reasonable length for a feature film and an ideal timeframe for short-form comedy. Any opportunity to swear at babies who don't know what the hell is going on is good, and so taking that simple gesture and framing it with a best baby contest -- not cutest or sweetest, just strictly the best, from a pediatric perspective -- featuring babies with insane names is, of course, excellent sketch fodder. I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson is a relentlessly bizarre hit. But in the past decade, that precedent has shifted.
